The Southern Urals Large Igneous Province with an age of approximately 1380 Ma: Precision U–Pb ID-TIMS constraints

Resumo

The formation of the Large Igneous Province (LIP) approximately 1380 Ma old in the South Urals was related to the Mashak riftogenic event in the Bashkir meganticlinorium, which was synchronous with the emplacement of different magmatic bodies (the Berdyaush pluton of rapakivi granites and associated rocks, the Main dike of the Bakal ore field, and the Medvedev, Guben, and Kusa massifs, among others) localized among sedimentary deposits of the Burzyan and Yurmatin Groups representing Lower and Middle Riphean type units of northern Eurasia. The U–Pb ID-TIMS age of 1379.6 Ma (MSWD = 1.3) obtained with an accuracy of ±2.9 Ma (confidence interval 95%) combined with the available published U–Pb ID-TIMS data constrain the age and duration of the Early–Middle Riphean pulse in the LIP formation in the Southern Urals.
